It is the bibles method of self preservation: the only amazing prediction the bible made was that people would, over time, find evidence that would refute it.

This is your answer to why:
Romans 16:17-18
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
Matthew 7:13-14 (I chose the Message version for you to understand easier)
Being and Doing
Dont look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Dont fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to lifeto God!is vigorous and requires total attention.
It's just saying many people will find the easy way, the WIDE road, and few will find the narrow road and that leads to Jesus.

You quote Matthew, so let me ask you a few questions:
-Do you know when Matthew was written?
-Do you know who authored Matthew?
-Who has the originals of Matthew?
You should know the book you rely so much on, so I would expect a quick reply without a need to look it up.
I know the answers to those without looking them up.
No you don't. You are using two independent sets without realizing it. You can't say every student went on the trip, because some students did not go.
Two INDEPENDENT sets...again...if god cannot use all on day 5, like you say, then he cannot use every, either. Don't you see? Every fish is not good, because some haven't been created, yet.
1. Every fish created SO FAR, is good.
2. All the fish created SO FAR, are good.
Means the same thing.
Every IS NOT A SUBSET of all.
In fact, I challenge you to find just one professional who agrees with you. Show me that you actually learned this, rather than just made it up yourself to avoid having to admit you're wrong.
Whatever do you mean?
So, if God created fishes on Day 5, and continue to create more fishes on Day 6. Then at the end of Day 5, how should God describe His good work of Day 5 if neither EVERY nor ALL should be used?
How? It is beyond the wisdom of man.
Wisdom doesn't need understanding? Really, because that is what I have always viewed to be a quality of wisdom.
So, if God created fishes on Day 5, and continue to create more fishes on Day 6. Then at the end of Day 5, how should God describe His good work of Day 5 if neither EVERY nor ALL should be used?
But it is easy with the wisdom of God.
Hint: the answer is in my post you just replied to...
But that's just one way to do it. There are many others.
Which you cannot have without being god.
Sure I do have and many Christians also have. Otherwise, I will have no wisdom.
I read your post carefully (the only one worths to read in this thread). It does not answer my question.
The answer is that you CAN use all OR every, by including the qualifier "so far."
However, one does not need to actually write "so far." It can be implied.
If you want to argue that god created more fish on day 6, without mentioning it, that's fine, and a different topic. My complaint about your argument is your claim that every is a subset of all. It's not. You can use either word without changing the meaning of the text.
All you had to argue is that on day 5, the fish which were created were all (or every) that had been created AT THAT TIME, ON DAY 5. But if god created more fish on day 6, then not all (or every) fish was created on day 5 anymore, because some were also created on day 6.
That debate ended a long time ago within the sciences. The only people who reject the theory of evolution are those driven by their religious beliefs.
Not true. There are plenty of non-believers and people of different religions that challenge the theory of evolution.
